POT ROASTING IN THE
SLOW COOKER
The addition of liquid is required for pot
roasting. Place sufficient liquid into the
removable EasySear™ Insert to cover up
to a third of the meat. Meat will not brown
during the pot roasting process, so for
browner results sear in the EasySear™
Insert on the stovetop first before placing
back into the stainless steel housing for
cooking.
Beef Topside, Blade, Silverside
Roasts, Chuck, Rolled Brisket.
Lamb Forequarter, Shank, Shoulder.
Veal Shoulder/Forequarter.
Pork Loin, Neck.
SUITABLE MEAT CUTS FOR
POT ROASTING
USING THE EASYSEAR™ INSERT
AND STAINLESS STEEL LID AS
STAND ALONE COOKWARE
This Slow Cooker is equipped with a
diecast removable EasySear™ Insert
and Stainless Steel Lid to withstand
temperature extremes. It can be used for
browning and searing on a gas, electric
or ceramic stovetop or as a traditional
roasting pan for use in the oven.
The removable EasySear™ Insert and
lid are safe for use on stovetops and in
conventional ovens up to 480ºF (250ºC).
With proper use and maintenance, these
products will give many years of service
and help to make this Slow Cooker a
convenient, reliable and versatile meal
maker.
NOTE:
Use of the stainless steel lid in
a conventional oven may cause
discoloration. This is normal and will
not affect the cooking performance.
Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry.•
If a recipe calls for browning the meat, •
it may be browned in the EasySear™
Insert on the gas, electric or ceramic
stovetop.
Meat and poultry require at least 6 to 7 •
hours of cooking on LOW setting or 3
to 4 hours on HIGH setting.
Ensure that the food or liquid to be •
cooked fills half to ¾ of the EasySear™
Insert.
If after cooking the liquid quantity •
is excessive, remove the lid and
operate the Slow Cooker on the HIGH
setting for 30 to 45 minutes or until
the liquid reduces by the desired
amount. Alternatively, the liquid can
be thickened by adding a mixture of
cornflour and water and cooking on
HIGH setting without the lid until sauce
has thickened.
DO’S
Always thaw frozen meat and poultry •
before cooking.
Use dry oven mitts when lifting •
the stainless steel lid or removable
EasySear™ Insert after searing or slow
cooking.
Place the EasySear™ Insert onto a •
heat proof mat if serving from the
EasySear™ Insert at the table.
To keep foods warm for serving, turn •
the Temperature Control dial to the
LOW setting until ready to serve.
DONT’S
Do not operate the Slow Cooker •
without the EasySear™ Insert in
position.
Do not cook with frozen meats or •
poultry.
Do not remove the stainless steel lid •
from the Slow Cooker unnecessarily
as this will result in major heat loss.
Stirring is not necessary when Slow •
Cooking. However, if cooking on the
HIGH setting, stirring occasionally will
help to distribute flavors throughout
the recipe.
Do not use HIGH setting if you intend •
on being away from home for more
than 3 hours.
NEVER
Place water or other liquids into the •
stainless steel housing of the Slow
Cooker.
Immerse the base, cord, or plug of •
the Slow Cooker in water or any other
liquid.
Touch hot surfaces with bare hands.•
Deep fry in the EasySear™ Insert.•
